Madison
This page is designed to help former Madison students and athletes stay in touch. I must be honest this page will help this old man to stay in touch also. Let me and others know what is going on in your life. Hopefully this will become a blast from the past. I have so many great memories of the 25 years that I coached at Madison. I also went K-12 in the Madison school district. My wife and my brother also taught in the Madison school district. My Mother was on the Madison School Board for 25 years.
I was so blessed to have the opportunity work with so many good young men in football, wrestling and track. My only regret is I did not have my Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Savior during my teaching and coaching years.

Thank You David. I will never forget the work your Father did to help Madison Athletic programs.

Jim,
I wanted to say thank you for the phone conversations we had a few years ago. You explained to me about colon surgeries. And what I needed to do to help my mother with her colon cancer. Well a few months later I also experienced it with my Grandfather and was able to use allot of the advice you had given me. You were an awsome teacher and mentor for me in High School.
Thanks for creating this awsome website, so we can really enjoy knowing you more.
God Bless, Janet Willey Barton, Class of 1984
Janet it is great to hear from you. It has been a long time. Stay in touch. How did your Mother handle her problems?
Hello Mr. Myers! You are without a doubt one of the most memorable individuals from my school years and I had the great pleasure to be one of your students in your first year of teaching at Wilkinson. I remember you from gym class all through junior high and High school and from football. years ago I found John Gruden and have looked for Bill Samples but have had no luck. It is very nice to stay in touch, Mr. Myers! I come to Florida every year, mostly in the winter but usually to the Tampa and Sarasota areas. It would be nice to see you again some time soon.
It is great to hear from you Rick. Time is flying and yes we must get together next time you are in the Sunshine State. GOD BLESS!
Hello everyone! Im Amanda (Cochran) Patton, class of 2003. My Uncle Donald Coomer went there as well. He passedin the late 70s. He would have been there in the late 60s I believe. I nevr met him and was hoping to find someone that knew him back then. He often went by Picolo. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Amanda I am sure that we will find out more about your uncle Don Coomer. Stay tuned
